The parallels shown in the two preceding pages are distinctly cut off here (with Ab2-83), in the same way as they abruptly started at Ab2-68. Instead we have now three glyphs to which I have not (yet) found any parallels. But after this it is going to be really complicated: We will have parallel glyphs inside Tahua as well as parallels outside, with texts in the tablets H, P and Q. The parallel glyphs inside Tahua are located in rows b3 and b5. The parallels in H, P and Q are located in their rows a3, i.e. earlier than those parallels which we have seen on the two preceding pages. I think that the writer of Tahua decided to start his row (b3) with these complex parallels in mind. And I think that Metoro knew that Ab2-85 was the end of the part written before b3, as shown by the full stop after nui.
